Accepted off the OOS alternate list this morning! Wahoo!!!!!!
I could talk for hours on this...I apologize for interrupting the alt list celebrations, but can any of the current students floating around in here give us an idea of how attainable scholarships are in your second year? I know they're not accessible at most vet schools (including Illinois) until second year, but how many are there, and what are the chances of getting one?
Trying to get an idea of what my finances might be looking like for the next few years, haha
(I think if you click on her name in-thread there's a start a convo button without having to go to her profile. Or if you go to your inbox, there should also be a start a new convo button and you can just type her username in )Also, @pinkpuppy9 if you could PM me, I have some additional questions for you. Your profile is limited so I don't think I can PM you first.
Lol I clicked on her prof pic, not her name. Thank you.(I think if you click on her name in-thread there's a start a convo button without having to go to her profile. Or if you go to your inbox, there should also be a start a new convo button and you can just type her username in )
Honestly, I hate sounding like a whiner (I am salty, though ) but I do question how they decide who gets what.I applied to over 25 of the scholarships available to us 1st transitioning to 2nd years and didn't get a d**n one.
This is certainly a "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" situation. Plan on not getting a cent from the school so that if you do, it's a happy surprise.
You apply. You will get an email sometime in late November alerting you that the scholarship apps are open and where to go to see what's available. They all require essays. There are some that don't require an application (the student is nominated), but those are usually given to fourth years on clinics. First years only qualify for a handful of those.Do first years apply for scholarships or are they awarded without student input?

Good ol' renal phys will do that do you
I'm salty about a lot of things right now. What's one more? Lol

Has he told you how dumb he thinks you all are yet? But we're smarter than the med students. For incoming students, he's a med school teacher we borrow ONLY for renal phys. You will hate it, but I promise 2nd year will teach you better. We've tried to get rid of him but no one else wants to cover the material. It's frustrating for all involved, but survivable.Especially when it overlaps with the midterm material

I'm sure that this has already been discussed, but any housing tips? Looking for a 1BR with a cat somewhere near campus, and also asking for advice because I feel like it's a little last minute! Thanks!
Ah, ok! I'm not on there yet!Definitely not last minute. There's still people on the class of 2021 Facebook page trying to get their rooms filled.
Thank you!!
Just FYI, I was able to schedule a file review by phone with Dr. Foreman for next week. Not sure if this means that they've finished calling people on the waitlist or not? But if anyone is curious and wants to schedule one of their own, I did so via email.
Hey, thanks! I know this topic has been discussed on the Facebook group but not here yet... Any thoughts on electives for first year? I signed up for the 2 credit hour research elective (I believe). What did you do and what did others do? I have to admit, the other two electives aren't enticing me.If any incoming first years have any questions, let me know! I am going to be a second year and I know I had a bunch of q's around this time before starting first year!

Also, has everyone already received their aid letters? I'm still waiting for mine. I know it's only end of May...
Do the blue coat sizes run a little big?
Just wondering, has anyone who was initially waitlisted heard anything from ASA? I've been keeping in touch with them but haven't received any emails about how to register for classes, etc. They deposited my check so I'm not ~too~ worried... I'm sort of thinking that I might not be on the email list because I wasn't admitted right away, but if anyone else could confirm it would really ease my nerves! I'm going to call them, but given the holiday tomorrow I just thought that I would check on here
Hi everyone! I noticed that scrubs are not allowed to have any logos on them. I figured that refers to clinic names and such, but does that also apply to a manufacturer's logo, like Carhartt or Dickies? It's just the small symbol on the end of a sleeve. There are some at my local farm store and I just wanted to make sure that's ok.
Great, thank you!That's totally fine. They're pretty much referring to logos for other clinics.
Thanks! I got that email. I finally got it all squared away. I hadn't seen that email before I called them, but now I am all set!!Hi everyone!
